Jesca Hoop is wonderful live. She did an album with Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) a few years back and i watched them at End of the Road. Amazing voice 🙂

Just been scoping her stuff out, she sounds great!

Tbh it wasn't as rammed last year as previous years, I think having them on Friday helped. Hoping they pop up on the line up elsewhere...

Oh okay, just what I'd read on here. I regretted it a little not making the effort to go there. We went levels for the secret fatboy slim set instead...which alright

No Mik Artisik? Not seen him on any lineup yet. Wonder if he is playing or not

what would we do without his irrepressible talent? 🙄

I hadn’t been in previous years but it was pretty rammed for ROTN last year in Croissant Neuf. Brilliant, but it got really hot and I almost fainted and had to go outside for some air and water 🤣 then hard to get back in after. Larger venue for them would be great. Fingers crossed.

No Rhythm of the 90s! They have defo outgrown that tent, so hopefully on somewhere else but them and Baggy Mondays are mainstays every year

They actually didn't do 2022, one of the years at least. I think they would make a great act to open Woodsies or something.

dont think they'll be there

Moya Brennan might be quite popular, she's Enya's sister and has a bit of a following

She should draw a decent crowd, think was in the Acoustic Tent last time she was there.

Good to see Mad Dog McRea back - I think it’s been a few years 

Always great fun! Last saw them in Toad Hall in 2017 I think. Imagine they'll appear at a couple of the other Green Futures stages across the weekend.

OMFG! No Steve Knightley? And we know he's at the festival (Left Field). Must've been a bust up 🤣

 

Saw Bakery at Avalon a couple of years back; they're amazing? Rainbow Girls are cool too, but never seen them live. Good lineup!

Sure he'll also pop up at Small World/Toad Hall if he's about over the weekend. See him about quite often as he lives near me, if I remember I'll ask if there's any other slots planned.

Oh yeah. This rings a bell now. 
 

If it’s all done for crowd control, then I’d expect changes at the Stonebridge on the Thursday

Yes, 2022 at Avalon, fairly early in the day. But yeah, Baskery, not Bakery (if you were being pedantic 😝). Silly autocorrect.

I honestly think one of the issues here is they pushed Baggy Mondays a few hours early to like 3:30pm from around 6:30pm time. I there are bits and bone but I always feel like my festival properly started when I'm pissed up at Baggys and at 3:30pm Thursday there isn't really that much worth missing for it.

Haha, I was being pedantic but it was the question mark after amazing that I was referencing. I've never heard of them before so I'm just glad to have another recommended band to add to my listening list 🙏

They're Scandinavian (Swedish I think), and last time they downed instruments and did a traditional Midsummer song a capella, and it was so beautiful. Brought me to tears ❤️ wish I could remember the song.

If Smash Hits (in Shangri-La) are the Irish band, that's another 90s tribute similar to Rhythm of the 90s

I also just wouldn’t be surprised either after last year, we got there early luckily but the whole area got shut down. Hope they are there but would be surprised if they aren’t moved somewhere bigger, not sure where though it sooooo packed

Oh for sure, they’ll be there somewhere, we’ve always gone to see them Thursday at 5pm, it’s our little ritual, after the pink party under the pyramid tree, I definitely think they’re popularity has grown over the last few years (very well deserved)

I recognise the name Jesca Hoop, but can't think were from or bring to mind any of her stuff.  Is she a fave of 6Music?
